Blizzard has this week released a new gameplay trailer for its upcoming Diablo 3 Reaper of Souls DLC, providing fans with a look at the abilities, zones, and new class that are being introduced in this expansion.
The new Diablo 3 Reaper of Souls DLC will also bring with it a new class for players to enjoy in the form of the Crusader, that is equipped with gleaming weapons, and heavy damage skills. The Crusader is a mid-range melee class that wields a flail and a shield, capable of dealing massive damage while also providing strong defensive capabilities. This new class is designed to be a versatile addition to the existing roster, offering players a fresh and dynamic way to experience the game. Check out the Diablo 3 Reaper of Souls gameplay trailer after the jump to see it in action.
New Zones and Challenges
The Diablo 3 Reaper of Souls gameplay trailer below offers a glimpse at the Westmarch, Blood Marsh, Battlefields of Eternity, and Pandemonium Fortress that make up the 5th chapter of the Diablo III storyline. Each of these zones brings unique environments and challenges that will test the skills and strategies of players.
Westmarch, a gothic city overrun by the undead, serves as the starting point for the new adventure. Players will navigate through its dark streets and haunted buildings, facing off against formidable foes. The Blood Marsh, a treacherous swamp filled with deadly creatures and hidden dangers, requires players to be on constant alert. The Battlefields of Eternity, a war-torn landscape where angels and demons clash, offers intense combat scenarios and epic battles. Finally, the Pandemonium Fortress, a stronghold at the heart of the eternal conflict, presents the ultimate challenge with its powerful enemies and intricate design.

New Features and Improvements
In addition to the new class and zones, the Reaper of Souls DLC introduces several new features and improvements to enhance the overall gameplay experience. One of the most significant additions is the Adventure Mode, which allows players to explore the world of Sanctuary freely. In this mode, players can undertake bounties and complete randomized dungeons called Nephalem Rifts, providing endless replayability and opportunities for loot.
The expansion also brings the Mystic, a new artisan who can enchant and transmogrify items. Enchanting allows players to reroll specific stats on their gear, giving them more control over their character’s build. Transmogrification enables players to change the appearance of their equipment, allowing for greater customization and personalization.
Furthermore, the Paragon system has been revamped, offering more meaningful progression for high-level characters. Players can now allocate Paragon points into four categories: Core, Offense, Defense, and Utility, allowing for more diverse and specialized builds.
The Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls DLC will be launching on March 25th for Windows PC and Mac. Blizzard has also this week closed the Diablo 3 Auction House within the game. The closure of the Auction House marks a significant shift in the game’s economy, encouraging players to find and trade items through in-game means rather than relying on external transactions.
